Chapter 12

Nero's Pov

i screeched myself awake from my sleep from the soft blue bed I pulled my head up, thinking about that makes my hands hurt i breathed in in a attempt to calm myself down but it fails terribly and i end up waking up whoever was one the other side of the bed i slam my head against the pillow making a earthquake like sensation.They groan and flick their hands on the curtain revealing me sleeping soundly.I hear another groan and feel a slam twice the magnitude of mine.I decided to wait a little to let them fall asleep before getting up

After hearing snoring i got up from the soft bed slowly and took my bag next to a wooden table in the corner of the room and walked out of the room

The lights flickered when i left the room but i ignore it heading for the kitchen on the first floor.Sky was still on the stairs where i remembered,I kicked him and said loudly "Dude wake up.He groaned and picked himself up and clung by my shoulders as i walked down the quartz stairs. The door to the kitchen creaked open. i walked on the quartz blocks my shoes making a slight squeaking noise. Sky got off my shoulders and yawned and asked if i was gonna eat something

"Nooo I'm gonna sleep on the stove while the fire is on it's so co0old"I said sarcastically crossing my arms while I smirked at him

"Yeah good luck with that"he said squinting his eyes. "Alright what do you want to eat" Jerome says walking in from nowhere. I grin and say that I that want some steak. He smiles and looked at Sky,who was still half asleep he nods and Jerome instantly knows what he wants. The bacca unusually happy opening the white refrigerator with photos of the team together on the edge of a forest, a small pig in the background. I chuckled as Jerome glanced at me flashing a quick smile and turning back around to prepare the food.

I turned around walking slowly looking at the dinner table to see a basket pf fruits and Sky facing down on the table waiting patiently for the food. I walked to the table and sat down the chair that was surprisingly comfortable. I took out my phone looking at the time it was still Friday 5:12pm I was pleasantly surprised, the time here seems to pass slower than on the surface.

"Hey! Sky how much time here is one day in the real world"I said yawning right after

"Ah yes! One day in the real world in here is 1 year" He wheezed softly thinking like that was nothing

I gasped and smiled genuinely fake. The bacca brought the food. On my plate was a steak dripping with sauce on the side and Sky he uhh..? had the exact same thing as me but a stick of butter on top of it

He grinned and became wide awake at the sight of the steak I smiled softly grinning at how excited he actually was for butter but i expected more though guess he's still half asleep.

And suddenly stops and time seems to be at a halt the background grayed out everything was grey except for the people on the other side of the table except for the thing behind my new found friends it was completely black except for its  eyes that could shoot lasers at any point it seemed like he was holding Sky he tapped his shoulders it seemed to whisper something it seemed like it said "bell food hind" eh i dunno i was never good at listening anyways

As soon as that it was gone everything was back to normal Sky sniffing his food to make himself more hungry to savor the food and Jerome fishing outside the window to my left which was conveniently behind the building

Trying to regain my composure I began breathing slowly and just like earlier i failed horribly start hyperventilating  Sky gets startled and started getting up quickly ,my heartbeat increases, I held my bracelet feeling something soothing calm me down it almost seemed like it was the bracelet was comforting me like a mothers embrace. I became aware that sky was next to me as i stopped panicking at the earlier hallucination at least you thought it was a hallucination, he was scared of what happened to you, he thought you had an illness or maybe he thought you were crazy already but instead he starts crying his gentle sobbing filling the quiet atmosphere of the building

I ask why

"Y-you just scared me i guess hehe" he tried smiling but ends up sobbing louder

I tell him thats obviously not the reason why

The atmosphere grows darker but My Optimistic view of life (Most of the time) brightens it up a little bit but not enough to return the atmosphere back to normal if normal was unusually gloomy.

He is silent I don't think i could do anything anymore the atmosphere grows yet darker, darker than a town during a blackout and the town had run out of everything. He walks, out of nowhere he starts walking like a fish jumps from a vase at your house

He was still silent the only sound coming from him was his shoes, and that noise filled the now gloomy atmosphere of the house
